Conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into bio-oil through fast pyrolysis process is considered one of the promising routes to supplement conventional fossil oil. Future bio-refineries require production large amounts of bio-oil from several biomass types. Characterization of the produced biooils is important to determine their suitability as bio-refinery feedstock. In this study, bio-oils were produced from white oak and sweetgum woods in an auger reactor at 450 degrees C. The yields of char, liquid, and gas were calculated. The physical characterization of bio-oils was performed based on the investigation of different properties, such as pH, density, viscosity, water content, acid value, and molecular weight distribution of bio-oil components. The chemical compositions of the bio-oils were also investigated by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and Fourier transform infra-red analyses. The physicochemical properties of the produced bio-oils were comparable to those obtained from similar woody biomass and the oils were suitable for fuel production.
